  • Admission to Year 7 Or Year 9 2021 a Guide for Parents and Carers
    Admission to Year 7 or Year 9 2021 A Guide for Parents and Carers This guide contains information to help you apply for a school place in Year 7 or Year 9 (secondary schools, studio schools and schools with an additional point of entry at Year 7 or Year 9) You can also visit our website: bcpcouncil.gov.uk/schooladmissions Introduction Introduction Welcome to our guidebook for parents and carers which has been designed to help you find the right school for your child whether your child is starting at a Secondary or Studio school, or moving school during the 2021-22 school year. It outlines what information we need from you, and what you can expect in return from us. Across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole we have 96 schools. The Council works in close partnership with them. The aspirations for our area are ambitious and include investing in our children and young people and enabling access to high quality education. We understand that moving up to Secondary or Studio school is an exciting experience for both children and parents. However, this transition can also be a challenging time for all as decisions are made about which schools to apply for - with this process then followed by the inevitable and anxious wait to see if the application has been successful. Similar to other areas, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has experienced increased demand for school places due to rising birth rates and movement of families. We have adopted an overall strategy for the provision of school places which includes looking at options for additional capacity at existing schools and new school provision.

  • Bournemouth School for Girls Determined Admissions Policy 2019-20
    AAAdmissionsAdmissions Policy for 2019 Entry The admissions policy of Bournemouth School for Girls aims to reflect the underlying ethos of the school which is to provide a selective education for girls aged 11-18, from the Borough of Bournemouth and the surrounding area. Bournemouth School for Girls is an Academy (having converted in August 2011), and is non-denominational. This policy has been developed to meet the requirements of the Department for Education School Admissions Code which came into force in December 2014. Admission to the school in Year 7 is in accordance with the agreed scheme for co-ordinated admission arrangements. Parents are able to state their school preference without it being taken into account by the school to which they are applying. Only girls who attain the required standards in the prescribed arrangements for selection by reference to high ability and aptitude will be eligible to be considered for admission to the school. Selection is by means of entrance tests other than for the Sixth Form for which the entry requirement is stated below. Girls are eligible to be considered for admission to Bournemouth School for Girls in Year 7 if they meet the required standard in the tests used and administered by the local selective schools. There is one set of selection tests for Bournemouth School for Girls, Bournemouth School, Parkstone Grammar School and Poole Grammar School (the “Consortium”). This will save children whose parents wish to be considered for admission to more than one selective school in the Consortium from taking multiple tests for those schools.
